Chapter 396: Chapter 171: Icebreaker Attacked
White Hair waved his hand, and the elongated floating car silently drove away.
Looking at the purple Crystal Palace, Mu Fan could already smell the fragrance wafting from inside even before entering.
“I really feel like drooling.”
“It must be delicious~” Saying this nonchalantly, Li Xiaoxi took another photo and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
If these two were in front of Dingwu Gate, their awkward gestures would certainly have been laughed at, but at the entrance of the restaurant, aside from the respectfully bowing waiters, there was no one else.
Wang Nuonuo whispered to Mu Fan, “Sir, this White Hair is impressive, being able to book an entire floor of the Masa restaurant!”
Mu Fan didn’t even know what “Masa” meant in the upper echelons of society; all he knew was that eating was what mattered.
So, Mu Fan grinned at White Hair and asked, “Can we eat our fill in a bit?”
White Hair snapped his fingers, “Eat up, have plenty!”
These four words made Mu Fan immediately turn his head and firmly say to Wang Nuonuo, “He really is incredible!”
Nuonuo’s big eyes looked bewildered at Mu Fan, wondering if that’s what she had meant.
Led by a row of bowing waiters, they entered the second floor via the crystal floating stairs.
Under the clear crystal chandeliers, a huge round table stood silently, with six waiters bowing nearby to greet them.
Chuchu looked at White Hair in surprise and said, “I underestimated you, finding such a fantastic restaurant!”
With a smug raise of his eyebrows, he gestured for them to take their seats.
“Now that we’ve arrived, Harry should be close. I’ll ask.”
Mu Fan called Harry on Sky Communication, and soon got through.
“Mu Fan, I’ll be there soon, sorry, sorry.”
After another five minutes, when Mu Fan’s stomach growled again in protest, he finally heard something amiss.
Bang, bang, bang.
Mu Fan felt the ground vibrating beneath his feet. What was going on?
“Sir, would you like to see how the floating stairs are?”
A female waiter asked, sounding anxious.
“No way, I tried, I can’t fit.”
Thud, thud.
The first thing that caught their eye was the sweating Harry, but Mu Fan, with his sharp eyes, felt that Harry looked more overworked than tired.
Why hadn’t the noise stopped?
Seeing everyone holding their knives and forks waiting for him, Harry awkwardly laughed and pointed behind him, “Just a moment, just a moment.”
“Slow down, ten more steps, you can do it.”
“Hmm.”
A muffled voice continued, and the sensation of tremors from the ground persisted.
“Boom.”
A massive hand slapped onto the gilded handrail, then another hand slapped onto the other side, and as both massive hands steadied, finally an … breath-taking figure appeared.
White Hair had just popped a piece of honeydew melon into his mouth, but it fell out at this sight.
“Is this a meat mountain?”
He stood a whole head taller than Harry, roughly around six feet three inches, and was twice as wide as Harry!
Next to this newly appeared giant, Harry looked like a shrunken toy.
A row of eyes stared at him unblinkingly. Harry was startled, a smile spread across his face, and he quickly gestured towards the sweating figure desperately wiping off sweat behind him.
“This is my newly acknowledged big brother—William! You have no idea, it’s such a fate we share! Both of us are in logistics, and because we’re both heavyweight champs, we ended up sharing an apartment, hahaha.”
Hearing Harry introduce him again, the giant, William, hurriedly tried to bow in greeting, but due to his ample belly and the mass of flesh on his chest, everyone saw his effort, and ultimately this … um, meat mountain, successfully buried his head into his chest.
“I am a new student in the logistics department—William. Nice to meet you.”
Because of his size, his voice echoed as if between large clay jars.
Mu Fan finally understood what the “big brother” the fat guy mentioned meant.
That was truly an image!
“Alright, hurry up and take a seat, let’s talk while sitting.”
Watching the hefty figure of the fat guy, White Hair felt a pang of sympathy, feeling as if he should call the rescue center if William had to stand a bit longer.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, William briefly introduced himself again. He came from the Second Administrative Star Region, following his elder relatives here to purchase raw materials. Being a giant fatty, he simply didn’t have the strength to return, so he chose to study on Blue Capital Star.
After casually devouring a bowl of ice water lotus soup, William chuckled and said, “I don’t plan to go back before I graduate.”
Wang Nuonuo, who was secretly picking up a piece of black pepper steak, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Haha, one small fat one and one big fat one, I thought Harry was lazy enough, but now I finally see someone who could surpass him.”
“Uh… I might eat a bit more, are you guys sure you don’t mind? Next time, you can try my cooking. I have quite a research on gastronomy,” William said, his eyes glued to a plate of golden-baked suckling pig, almost drooling.
White Hair generously waved his hand, “No worries, feel free.”
With that, Mu Fan finally understood what meant by “there’s always someone better!”
…
Half an hour later, a middle-aged man in a suit and brogues ran up, frazzled, bowing, and apologizing continuously to White Hair.
When White Hair impatiently asked what was the matter?
The middle-aged man who claimed to be the manager of Masa restaurant said with a mournful face, “I’m sorry, Young Master Yin, our restaurant’s twenty-one special food supplies are gone. You all… ate up half a month’s supply of these ingredients.”
White Hair felt a dry throat, turned, and looked at the two fatties who were still eating voraciously.
Harry was already leaning on the chair with a belly out, panting with his tongue out like a panting dog.
Even Mu Fan admired the towering figure after struggling to swallow the last piece of meat!
William was still eating happily…
It seemed that the engulfed fatty was completely unaware of his glorious achievements.
So, tapping the middle-aged man’s shoulder, White Hair, with his eye-stinging gaze, told him, “Just serve whatever regular ingredients you can for now, and as long as he’s satisfied today, your task is complete.”
The manager, relieved, quickly bowed in thanks.
An hour later, when everyone walked out of Masa restaurant again, Mu Fan looked admiringly at William, “You must be amazing, looking forward to learning more from you!”
A great appetite must mean awesome!
This truth remained unbroken in Mu Fan’s mind, and although William kept emphasizing he was from the logistics department, Mu Fan believed that the giant fatty’s power was undoubtedly beyond the skies!
This gathering could be said to be their last meal before officially starting school tomorrow, as no one knew how hectic the upcoming academy life might be.
After parting ways, the three of them returned to the apartment together.
As soon as he entered, Mu Fan immediately locked his room door and glanced at his wristwatch before walking to the balcony to look at the scenery outside.
“You kept vibrating just now, what happened?”
“Mu Fan, the Icebreaker Warship just came under attack.”
Hmm!?
Mu Fan furrowed his brows, “What’s the situation?”
“I followed the preset plan and docked the Icebreaker Warship in its previous hiding spot, to cold process those onboard Star Thieves. But unexpectedly, a spatial fluctuation appeared nearby. I’ve been on Blue Capital Star until the alarms were triggered and I knew about it. Fortunately, the attackers were few, just a few small destroyers. Their damage was limited, and before they could dispatch Mechas to cut in, I already controlled the warship to move away.”
“Did you identify the attackers?”
Mu Fan tapped the windowsill, quickly ruling out multiple possibilities.
Sword Axe Star Thief Group’s backend, Gardot Empire?
Or some other unknown forces?
“No identification. Their attack was very sudden, and the ship was camouflaged. It’s impossible for anyone to know my movements.” Black negated, as it had already blocked all electromagnetic signals from the ship.
“It’s still possible, that base, only the Sword Axe Star Thief Group themselves would know!”
